Trigger's Broom


The ride-on mower deck has returned from the welder down the road - he'd forgotten about it, hence it languishing there for 3 weeks - well, I did say there was no rush. Just as well it wasn't required while the grass was recovering from the drought.


It does seem to be turning into Trigger's Broom, what with it requiring constant welding to keep it going. I painted the welded surfaces (and other exposed areas) with KuRust and will paint it with something hard wearing before mounting it back on the tractor unit.

The welding altered some of the dimensions, which necessitated a bit of adjustment to get it to seat properly on the mower, but by lunchtime it was back in action. I'm not sure how much longer I can get from the unit, but it won't be that long before Trigger's Broom will need complete replacement.
